As a result of the article in my local paper (the others were in papers out of my area), I received a phone call from a lady who lives in the same suburb as me, and she has myeloma too! Neither of us was aware of the other until this article. This is great! I have already helped her and given her some interesting things to read. This is what it's all about, isn't it?! I hope I've touched a few people and told a few more about myeloma.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="1a4e1800.jpg" border=0 width="225" height="384" ALT="Newspaper article" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="11677580.jpg" border=0 width="375" height="344" ALT="Another newspaper article" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <B>This is my nurse, Fiona, and I being a bit silly when </B></div> <div> <B>the photographer took this picture.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="11768ac0.jpg" border=0 width="360" height="428" ALT="Yet another newspaper article" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <B>Fiona and I again in a different paper.
